Japan Airlines CEO Comments on Big 3 CEO’s

By Ron Pereira - December 9th, 2008

I first saw this on John Hunter’s blog. It’s a little over 2 minutes and definitely worth viewing… especially in light of recent events in America.

Thankful

By Ron Pereira - November 26th, 2008

I’m sitting here at my PC working on a little “project” I can’t wait to tell you all about. In fact, I’ll probably be sitting here well into the morning… but I am definitely not complaining. Anyhow

It’s always interesting how a post that takes me 48 seconds to write can create so much discussion! As of right now there have been 28 29 comments left on the spinning lady post… most explaining how she is spinning one wa

The Spinning Lady

By Ron Pereira - November 24th, 2008

OK, are you up for a challenge? If so, which way is the lady spinning: clockwise or counter-clockwise? Leave your answer in the comments if you want to play. And let me just say… don’t be so sure about your answer.

The Cowboy Hat

By Ron Pereira - October 15th, 2008

I’ll never forget the day I broke my Mom’s heart. It was the morning of my 7th birthday. My parents separated when I was only a few years old and my 3 siblings and I lived with my Mom throughout the school year and spent the

Walmart, You are Killing Me!

By Ron Pereira - August 18th, 2008

So check it out. A few months ago my wife noticed some suspicious charges on our Washington Mutual debit card at a Walmart in the Fort Worth area. After discussing it we realized someone had swiped our information and made two separate

Must Read Article about Top Toyota Engineer

If you don’t already read Jon Miller’s excellent blog you’ll want to pay a visit and read his most recent article “Toyota’s Top Engineer on How to Develop Thinking People.” The original article Jon r

It’s a Girl!

“Children too are a gift from the LORD, the fruit of the womb, a reward.” ~Psalm 127:3 Yesterday my family was blessed with the arrival of our 4th child, a baby girl. While the births of all my children have been amazing, this one

Happy 4th of July!

“Freedom has its life in the hearts, the actions, the spirit of men and so it must be daily earned and refreshed – else like a flower cut from its life-giving roots, it will wither and die.” ~Dwight D. Eisenhower A me

Stumped in the Toilet

By Ron Pereira - May 6th, 2008

I’d like to think I am a relatively intelligent person. I graduated with a 3.8 GPA during my undergrad studies and a 3.7 GPA while getting an MBA. But, alas, today I realized I still have much to learn as I attempted to use

That which doesn’t kill us makes us stronger

By Ron Pereira - January 7th, 2008

As a young boy growing up in Ohio I learned to love Ohio State. I was watching them play football before I even knew what football was. It’s hard to explain to most how much I love them. And it’s hard to express how s

Back from the Big House

By Ron Pereira - November 18th, 2007

Let me just say this past weekend rocked! As regular readers of the blog know I attended the Ohio State versus Michigan football game this past Saturday. Well my Buckeyes handled Michigan with ease and won the Big Ten championship.

By Ron Pereira - August 5th, 2007

As I previously explained my family and I took a roadtrip the last few weeks. We drove from Keller, Texas to Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. We traveled through Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, South Dakota, and North Dakota on our wa

My Latest Invention Idea

By Ron Pereira - July 13th, 2007

I often come up with some great invention ideas only to find out someone already thought of it. Well, this morning when I was filling my car up with gas I thought of one I am almost sure no one has thought of. Introducing Vacuum while

God called down the rain

By Ron Pereira - June 22nd, 2007

I’ve had a crap week and need to vent. Earlier this week in Keller, TX we received about 7 inches of rain in about an hour. Normally this would create a small lake in my back yard that would soon run off into the street.

Winning Rocks!

By Ron Pereira - May 21st, 2007

I learned tonight that I, yes little old me, am a winner. I don’t mean a winner like the way your mom always says, “Oh son, you are always a winner to me.” No, I mean a winner in the truest sense of the word. Check ou

Happy Easter!

By Ron Pereira - April 7th, 2007

I, along with my family, wish you a safe and happy Easter. I hope you are able to enjoy some time off with friends and loved ones.

Bollinger Bands

By Ron Pereira - February 19th, 2007

I am not an active trader of stocks or options although I do enjoy reading and studying the methods people use to “time” the markets so to speak. I will confess I have tried to time the markets myself but have gotten whacked more t
